Hey all, my name's John and I've been a longtime lurker here on Pinside and finally decided to take the registration "plunge."
I've been into pinball since I was nine years old, starting just outside Detroit, Michigan. Still remember the very first pins I ever played -- Sky Jump, Swinger & Wild Life -- and wouldn't mind finding one of those in good/restored condition someday. I've also done basic fixes on pins, starting in the early '80s working at a Funway Freeway location (remember them?) I'm starting to get back into that area again, to date having volunteered for a half-dozen Tech weekends at the Museum of Pinball in Banning, Calif. to help get things ready for next month's Arcade Expo 4.0 (going to be an awesome show this time around).
I've learned quite a bit here over the last few years, and hoping to learn even more.
